Effective Assessment Series: From Criteria to Rubrics
The "Effective Assessment Series: From Criteria to Rubrics" is a two-part professional development workshop for all staff involved in student learning. This series focuses on the essential components of criterion-referenced assessment (CRA) and rubric design to enhance student learning and success. Participants will gain valuable insights into establishing clear expectations and structured teaching methods.
Creating Effective Rubrics for Assessment
Rubrics play a crucial role in evaluating student work at HKUST, providing clear criteria for assessment and feedback. This workshop aims to equip teachers with the knowledge and skills necessary to create effective writing rubrics that promote learning outcomes and enhance assessment practices. Participants will explore the principles of rubric design, including clarity, specificity, alignment with learning objectives, and practical strategies for developing and implementing writing rubrics. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have the tools needed to design and implement writing rubrics that support student success and improve the assessment process in a university setting.

Grading with AI: How to Save Time, Improve Feedback, & Increase Consistency
About the workshop:
Grading and assessment continue to be significant challenges for many educators. It requires considerable time and effort to grade assignments. It requires even more time and energy to provide quality feedback, resulting in few instructors offering as many suggestions for improvement as they would like. Finally, even the most committed educators can lose focus after grading tens or even hundreds of essays, which may lead to inconsistent and unfair evaluations.

Enhancing assessment and feedback: a workshop for HKUST staff on designing alternative assessments
Abstract:
Assessment post-covid is being widely rethought in many higher education institutions globally, as staff grapple with finding better ways of assessing authentically while ensuring that it is an integral part of learning. This workshop will address these areas and provide participants with opportunities to:
Designing and Implementing Competency-based Curriculum
Overview:
If we consistently track student progress on core competencies across courses and over time, students are encouraged to transfer what they learn and use it in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, this helps students meet the goal of education - to take the knowledge they learn in the classroom and apply it throughout their lives. Competency-based curriculum design requires intentional planning and careful attention to the logistics of implementation. Designers should carefully choose learning outcomes that explicitly address aspects of the core competencies.
